Q: Do tree removals include stump removal?

• <div><p>Tree removal costs typically don&rsquo;t include stump removal, as that technically falls into a different service. The company you hire may offer the service for an additional fee; ask them if they offer it to ensure you get the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-tips-get-best-tree-service.htm">best tree stump removal costs possible</a>. </p></div>

Q: What is the most popular Christmas tree?

• <div><p>Many consider the Fraser fir to be the most popular type of Christmas tree, but which type of tree sells out near you can depend on region and decorating trends that year. For example, the Leyland cypress is especially popular in the Southeast, according to the National Christmas Tree Association. </p></div>

Q: Is it OK to prune trees in the summer?

• <div><p>Though summer is not ideal, you can do some light pruning during this time of year. Just make sure it&rsquo;s not excessive. Vigorous pruning will stress the tree and impact next year&rsquo;s growth. Generally, August to September are the best summer-pruning months, particularly for fruit trees.</p></div>

Q: Can you water a new tree too much?

• <div><p>Yes, it&rsquo;s possible to overwater a newly-planted tree. Daily watering is great for the first few weeks, but it&rsquo;s important not to go overboard. Excessive watering can lead to various problems, including root rot, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/3-common-tree-diseases.htm">fungal diseases</a>, and a lack of root development.</p></div>

"Shaw is knowledgeable and informative. He went above and beyond to ensure my property was taken care of and not damaged anymore by the trees that were blown over in my yard. He and his crew took great care with my buildings an equipment that were around the damaged trees. I've hired SR Tree Services two more times to help clear willows and mulch the shrubs. I'll continue to hire them as I go along here. Thanks guys for all you did for us! Fair pricing too!"
